Dead Internet incomming.

Yep, yep. … Yep.

Honestly not trying to be argumentative here, but it does seem like most voters can be that gullible, concerning what’s currently going on, as well as what’s happened in the past.

Basically every voter thinks the other 49 senators are trash but theirs is always perfect, for some reason.

If people truly voted accurately, a lot of the problems we have today wouldn’t happen. Right now elected officials know that they can just bullshit their way through any conversation with their voters and stay in office, keep their jobs.

Kind of ballsy of him to do so, considering the current measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico.

From the article…

President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post that “he who saves his country does not violate any law,” a variation of a quote attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

It also helps to check which instance a post comes from & adjust your expectations accordingly.

Fundamentally, Reddit has (in the Past) better moderation, and theirs is lousy.

Was just honestly curious, that’s all.

Well I think it’s okay to honestly ask why someone is doing it, what the rationale was, as part of the conversation.

It would have been fine, I was half doing that out of comedy, half doing it out of just shining a spotlight on some automated process that always adds exactly one downvote to every comment being added.

Etc. etc., etc. ?

Honestly curious as to why someone downvoted this too?

Btw, the cross-post still leads to an error page for me.

You’re right! The page loads for me fine, but there’s a marker/tag on there that says “Removed by mod”.

In the past I would just get an error when trying to go to the page.

I removed my ‘Edit2’ addition. Thanks for letting me know.

From the article…

But while many think that YouTube’s system isn’t great, Trendacosta also said that she “can’t think of a way to build the match technology” to improve it, because “machines cannot tell context.” Perhaps if YouTube’s matching technology triggered a human review each time, “that might be tenable,” but “they would have to hire so many more people to do it.”

That’s what it comes down to, right there.

Google needs to spend money on people, and not just rely on the AI automation, because it’s obviously getting things wrong, its not judging context correctly.

I’m aware of HDR, but what is Game Color (besides the obviousness of the two words, individually)?

I really doubt they’re wasting time astroturfing a Linux community on Lemmy.

A bots (not human) time is very easy to waste, and if your product is having problems right now, one of the first things corporations would do to protect their profits is to try to reshape the narrative away from the problems, from the negative final spotlight on your product.

And finally, as I’ve linked before in this conversation, Microsoft has a long history of using FUD.

You’re not going to convince hardcore devotees with a meme.

They’re not directed just towards the ‘hardcore the devotees’, they’re also directed at the person who’s considering moving, who’s trying to do some research about it, and does searching about it, and then finds the memes/communities.

Stopping potential switchers before they switch is a powerful thing to do to preserve your products/profits.

And if you do these memes/messages often, and if they send a certain message/narrative, you would definitely introduce FUD into the people who would consider moving to Linux.

Pay attention to the meta.

That’s what we call a conspiracy theory

Why? You honestly don’t believe that corporations never try to manipulate the narrative/message for their benefit/profit?

Early Microsoft was well known for wielding the FUD factor.

Ah, how could I have forgotten the legion of MSFT contract employees scouring… fucking… furaffinity for that sweet, delectable anti-Linux propaganda lmao

Because having bots backed by AI and a preset list of sites/forums to post to would be way too much of an effort and impossible to automate/do, right? /s

(And for the record, mentioning ‘bots’ for the second time now.)

Because Microsoft cares so much about an 18.6K-member community called “linuxmemes” on a small federated Reddit alternative known for being filled with die-hard Linux fans and furries?

The company a corporation would hire to do that sort of thing would use a shotgun approach to the redirection postings. With bots it would be easy for them to do.
